1. Introduction

A few days ago, I was ministering to a sister in Guangzhou, and what she said moved me deeply. This sister often hosts many prominent pastors and runs a large enterprise herself. She had many physical problems, pain, and as I prayed for her, God gave me a revelation, but I didn’t dare to tell her. This was because the sister I saw was a very sunny person, but God revealed to me that she was living on the edge of great suffering. Last week, I prayed with her and ministered to her. Many places where she had been in pain loosened up, but I had a small hesitation about whether to tell her this revelation because she was very concerned about her image. Her younger brother had deep oppressions, and she loved him very much. He smoked many packs of cigarettes every day, and his fingers were burned by the cigarettes. Every time she finished praying with her younger brother, he would get better, but she would be in great pain. Her parents were sleeping very anxiously, and her older child often hit the younger child. I also had contact with her employees and her secretary. They were very depressed, and the whole feeling was very eerie and bad. I had a deep feeling that this sister had been in contact with many pastors, but why didn't these pastors care about her problems? That day, a hundred pastors were there singing hymns and worshiping God. Not wanting to offend her, I tried to share with her that our God is a God who gives hope. Later, she said something that moved me deeply: No pastor would care about my problems like you do.

Her words encouraged me, making me even more determined to preach a gospel that gives great hope. In fact, our gospel is a gospel that gives great hope, and God is a God of great power. At that time, she was scrolling through her WeChat Moments and saw a sister who was doing harp and bowl worship, and her stomach was in severe pain. No one was willing to pray for her, so she went to the hospital for an injection and persevered. But when she saw this, she asked me if I could pray for this sister, and I said yes. When we called, this sister had been in pain for a day and had no choice but to get an injection. I felt deeply the desolation of this era, and that our God is a great and hopeful God.

2. Scripture

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)

3. Prayer

May God lead us to proclaim the gospel of hope, to proclaim the gospel of God's great power.

4. Preach the Gospel of Great Power

Yesterday, I spoke on the phone with a sister for a long time. This sister had been in business for a long time, but later her company experienced some setbacks and went bankrupt. She also divorced her husband. She told me how God turned her situation around: one of her employees, a brother among us, began to share the gospel with her, and she began to come among us. Previously, her heart was supported by medication, and she couldn't sleep well. She worried about the problems of her employees and often couldn't sleep or eat well, operating under great pressure and confusion. Yesterday, she shared with me that all of this was better, which is a wonderful thing. This sister tells it much more wonderfully than I do. Later, she will come and share with us again. This sister's company is a Fortune 500 company. She needs to deal with the government, deal with taxes, deal with many people, etc., facing enormous pressure every day. Now she says she sleeps very well. Things she didn't dare to do before, like pushing through salary reforms, and her former fear of not having business, she is no longer afraid of because she has a God of great hope. Her body has been healed, the problems of her company have been resolved, the company has not collapsed, and it is getting better and better. Such experiences and testimonies give me great encouragement.

Brothers and sisters, whether running a business or building a church, you will face enormous pressure. Therefore, I encourage everyone to rise up and serve this era. Yesterday, I encouraged this sister to start leading them in her company, to pass on the gospel we want to preach, and to teach them how to do things, and her company will also be run better and better. Last week, I talked about struggling. This sister experienced the bankruptcy of her company, divorce, and one setback after another. Today, she is running as a blessing of the Lord Jesus, struggling. Today, we hear one testimony after another because we have Mingding Destiny . In the past, we struggled to live, but today we struggle for the good life of others. Although it is tiring and hard, it is very happy.

You ask me what I lack; I lack sleep, but nothing else. Last night, I did deliverance for a sister, and you could see how rampant the work of the devil is. This sister was delivered for three hours yesterday, constantly changing her tactics, and we finally dealt with it thoroughly. Yesterday, I also prayed for my mother and did deliverance for her, and she is also getting better and better. What kind of gospel are we preaching today? Is it a gospel that says you die and go to heaven, but live a hard life? No, it is a gospel of great hope, and many people will be blessed because of us. There are many words in the Bible that I particularly like.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)

A sister developed depression, but her local church didn't care about these things. When she found me, I felt very sorry for this sister. I began to minister to her, and I led her in prayer, and she was completely released and healed. However, just a few days before she was healed, she called her local church, but the pastor of that church didn't care about her at all and just told her to take some medicine and see a doctor or something. When he heard that she had come to our church, the pastor was most concerned about, Are you going to a charismatic church?

We need to change our thinking today. It seems that some pastors care about the kingdom of God, but they don't care about the things in the kingdom of God, which is problematic. The things of God's kingdom are to release these sick people from oppression. We need to ask ourselves, does the gospel we preach today give people hope?

The gospel that Paul preached is a gospel of great power. You ask me whom I imitate, I imitate Paul. When I was desperate, I walked into the church. Thank God for letting me walk into a church of great power. From then on, I knew that I had received a treasure. Even today, many people still need this gospel of great power.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8-9)

The Bible tells us in black and white, If you preach the wrong gospel, you will be cursed. Don't think that just because someone is a pastor, the gospel they preach must be okay. You need to see if it is a gospel of great power. The gospel that Paul preached is a gospel that gives great hope, a gospel of the great power of the Holy Spirit. Today, in the desolate age in which we live, we need a group of people to be raised up, to take on Mingding Destiny and mission, and to preach the gospel purely. Jesus Christ came into the world in the flesh to destroy the one who has the power of death.

From the day I knew God, I knew it was a treasure. I was very eager to explore and understand. No matter how much I struggled, I never gave up on the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, preaching the wrong gospel is to be cursed. I hope everyone can read the Bible carefully. The gospel is originally a gospel that makes people free. Begin to preach the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul.

And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. (Romans 8:23)

Recently, I received a strong impression to wait for the adoption as sons, so that our bodies may be redeemed. Healing, deliverance, and casting out demons are a big deal, something that God values. Christians are not living immortals, so we desperately need physical healing and deliverance.

5. God is a God Who Gives Hope

The sister I mentioned once started a business, went bankrupt, and then started another business. A woman in her fifties is not easy and faces a lot of pressure. No matter what, she knows that our God is incarnate, gloriously resurrected, and bodily resurrected, especially to destroy the devil who has the power of death in our flesh. The redemption of our bodies means that everything related to our bodies must be redeemed in order to receive the title of sons.

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. (Romans 7:18-25)

Who will deliver me from this body of death? The body has its desires, and the spirit has its desires. Thank God, through Jesus Christ, we can overcome. Jesus Christ trained seventy disciples to go out to heal the sick and cast out demons. It turns out that healing the sick and casting out demons is to make our mortal bodies come back to life. We rely on the Lord Jesus, and our bodies will be redeemed. The redemption of our bodies is because our faith saved us. When the woman with the issue of blood in the Bible was healed, Jesus said, Your faith has saved you. We must have faith, and then God will fill our hearts with all kinds of joy and the power of the Holy Spirit with great hope, that is, the redemption of body and soul.

We should not rely on the law within ourselves, but learn to obey the Holy Spirit, and then the body will also be healed from Jesus. We must know that it is not just the healing of the soul, but also the healing of the body, because the redemption of our body is part of salvation. The healing of physical illnesses is the mark of the redemption of the body. Do not separate the body and soul. We are not only healed in our souls, but also healed in our bodies, because the redemption of our bodies is part of salvation. When we rely on the Lord Jesus, our bodies will be redeemed.

If the company, work, and body we are running today are not what God cares about, where do we have hope? Without hope, how hard it is! Today, if you know that your body, work, and soul are what God cares about, then that is the complete part of salvation. We are to preach such a complete gospel, giving people great hope. Why do we all need to be healed? Because that is the complete part of the gospel of Jesus Christ!

6. Our Faith Will Give Us Great Peace

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we obtain peace and joy through faith. But what is it that we believe in? If we believe that after death we go to heaven, but live in hell while alive, where does hope come from? I think that is an impractical hope. Many people, when they wake up the next morning, those renting a house are thinking about paying rent, those buying a house are thinking about paying the mortgage, those who are sick are thinking about seeing a doctor. If these are not things that God cares about, where does our hope come from? We believe in a God who gives great hope! It is the gospel that gives great hope! We believe in the gospel of the redemption of the body! Believe in the gospel that we must live out the glorious image of God on earth! Today, make up your mind to believe that our God is such a God. If not, what you believe in is the harsh God you imagine.

The kind of God we believe in is the kind of God we get. If you believe in a stingy God, you get a stingy God; if you believe in a harsh God, you get a harsh God. When I pray, I rarely beg God for healing, because I know that healing is the will of the Lord Jesus, and there is no need to ask Him again. I believe in such a generous God who can make our lives prosperous! How are you going to believe today? What to believe and how to believe is a very important concept. I don't want you to believe only when you see things accomplished. Even when we are in emptiness, chaos, and darkness on the face of the deep, we choose to believe, choose to live prosperously, and keep believing until we see things accomplished.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. (Mark 16:17-18)

I often say this verse: These signs will accompany those who believe. It is not the life change that many people talk about now. The Lord Jesus did not say: These signs will accompany those who believe, which is life change. But these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons. Today, we drive out demons in the name of the Lord, and we believe that they will be driven out! People will surely be free, and the pain in people's hearts will be released! I am very sad that a Christian entrepreneur who was controlled by demons and was extremely painful used her money to support some pastors, but these pastors could not release her from the control of demons. Isn't this a difficult thing to understand? Today, if we often cast out demons after believing in the Lord, we will have great peace and great hope!

Some time ago, I was very sad because my mother began to have symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and was unable to take care of herself. I was thinking, God, what should I do? But the God I believe in is a God who gives people hope, so I began to observe and understand that it was a demon! I later understood what was going on. It turned out that behind Alzheimer's disease, mental illness, and all kinds of diseases came from the spirit of death. So I prayed with my mother. When I prayed, I grabbed the muscles on her hands, and the demon inside howled and reported the spirits of old horse in the deep mountains and forests and dung beetle. I'm not sure what that is, but I know it's an evil spirit. Later, my mother often saw a worm with two horns in her mind. I had a revelation to find a picture of a dung beetle online and show it to her. She said that was it.

People of the world are often in such a situation. There is no good way to treat Alzheimer's disease, but today I am very excited to find the real cause of Alzheimer's disease. Some time ago, I asked my mother to go downstairs to buy some sauce to prepare a dish of sauce chili, but after going downstairs, she bought a pack of cigarettes. This happened several times, and she became confused after smoking. Later I found out that the spirit lived on her chest. After driving away a wave of dung beetle spirits, she stopped smoking. It turned out to be a spiritual reason. The brother from Guangzhou some time ago burned his fingers from smoking. It turns out that behind this is the dark power of the spiritual world.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, how much we need the gospel that can heal the sick and cast out demons, how much we need a gospel of praying in tongues. Our faith is to believe according to the words of Jesus Christ. Faith is that signs and wonders will accompany those who believe! If there are none of these, I don’t know what kind of faith it is.

7. The Power of the Holy Spirit Will Give Us Great Hope

When you begin to believe that the power of the Holy Spirit will be manifested through us, where the Holy Spirit is, there is freedom. There was a sister in a traditional church, and a leader sang a song Where the Holy Spirit is, there is freedom. As a result, it was labeled as Charismatic. Isn't the Spirit of the Holy Spirit the Spirit that sets us free? Today we preach the gospel of the power of the Holy Spirit, and the gospel of the power of the Holy Spirit will give us great hope. When you see a brother or sister come out of the control of demons, isn't that manifesting hope! Today I see my mother. In fact, tomorrow I am going to take her to Hainan. She is over 80 years old and going with me. How great is that! If an old man in his eighties is unable to take care of himself, where will there be hope? This is really a life-threatening thing! Today, we must know that we must not only obtain eternal life, but also obtain it in this life. Today, we must continue to see the power of the Holy Spirit. The entire heaven is in God's control. May God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven, which is to allow the Holy Spirit to move so freely on us. How much God loves us, giving us His only begotten Son, will He not give us all the gifts of heaven and earth!

I am very comforted that my mother was controlled by evil spirits, and finally she was healed. It's not that she is old, but that she had the evil spirit of the old horse in the deep mountains and forests. People should not be paralyzed in bed when they are old, people should not be weak when they are old, people should not have a pot lid on their backs when they are old, people should not be like this or that when they are old. Even if people are old, they still have the image of God. God created people with the image of God. Where does the image of God come from if one cannot take care of oneself?

A classmate, after forty years, we finally met. He sat across from me and ate together. His parents were paralyzed in bed for seven years and could not take care of themselves. For seven years, he needed to manage his parents' bowel movements. How many seven years does one have in a lifetime? Too hard! Later, he got sick all over, without honor and without glory. When he left, I grabbed his shoulder. After he went back, he wrote me a letter saying that his shoulder felt like it had fallen down and it was very tight when we ate together. After being grabbed, it loosened. This is the power of the Holy Spirit. He didn't do anything for God, but God did it for him. Now I am a God-man. Why? Because the Holy Spirit lives in me. We have this Holy Spirit miraculously living in this clay jar, to manifest His greater power. That is to remove evil spirits and release all the captives.

Some time ago, there was an entrepreneur in Henan who said that he was disheartened, utterly despondent, and wanted to become a monk. I told him about the God who gives great hope. Do you know that his entire company has been completely turned around, and God is in control of everything, whether it is bank loans, business operations, brand operations, sales, production, or employee management. I was very moved when he gave me his testimony. I thank God that money cannot give us what God can give us. What we need most is not money, but the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can turn everything around and allow us to be above and not below in this world, to be the head and not the tail. With this Holy Spirit who can live in this clay jar, what else do we need? Until today, I am willing to offer everything, because what God has given us cannot be replaced by anything. He wants us to live out His glorious image. What do you choose? What will you choose that is placed before you in this world? Will you choose Jesus Christ like me, and count all things as dung and gain Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure? If you are like me, you cannot help but experience blessings.

I thank God that money cannot give us what God can give us. What we need most is not money, but the power of the Holy Spirit. The power of the Holy Spirit can not only bring about financial turnaround, but also bring about physical health, allowing us to be above and not below in this world, to be the head and not the tail. With the power of the Holy Spirit, what else do we need? Today I am willing to offer all of my self. The power of the Holy Spirit is irreplaceable, and God wants us to live out His glorious image. Are you willing to offer yourself like me to serve God? If so, you cannot help but be blessed.

Many people today give testimonies because they made a choice in their minds, which is to count all things as dung and value God. The power of the Holy Spirit gives great hope. There was a sister who worked as a nurse. Dealing with patients in the hospital is very spiritual. There was an old patient in the hospital who cursed everyone in the hospital, cursing very viciously. Later, the hospital had no choice but to send this sister to serve this sister. The old woman was very obedient and surrendered to this sister. When the old woman was discharged from the hospital, she wrote a letter to the hospital saying that there was not a good nurse in the hospital except for this sister. Later, the people in the hospital came to the conclusion that these difficult people tend to obey this believing sister. This is the power of the Holy Spirit. Before we believed in the Lord, we didn't know that there was the power of the Holy Spirit. Now that we know it, we can choose to obey the Holy Spirit or obey the flesh.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. (Romans 8:26)

Such good words, brothers and sisters, make a choice today: in your mind, do not choose based on the flesh, but choose based on the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God, and the power of the Holy Spirit is manifested through us. The answers to all our questions are in Him. If we know the power of the Holy Spirit, we will have great hope. Let go of stress, let go of anxiety, and begin to be considerate of the Holy Spirit’s intentions. When the Holy Spirit is poured out, we are no longer weak. The power of the Holy Spirit can hold up all things and can also hold up your business.

8. Summary

Nothing can separate us from God's love. The love of our God is real. I have never seen a parent who does not love their children. Today, let us rise up and promote the powerful gospel of God's kingdom, so that more people will be blessed. God wants to show glory and power in us. May your work be blessed and your body be healed. If the gospel we preach is such a gospel, everyone will want it. From now on, we will no longer say, I am so miserable, this body of death!, today we say, God, from now on I will overcome more than conquer through You! Amen!
